Many years ago different parties car
ried on the manufacture Of brick out
in this neighborhood. It was usual,
then, to hear some fifteen or twenty
hands INDUCING in the most bolster
GUS singing, swearing, etc., the teams
were run and rushed form early morn
till late hour at night, the poor, hard
worked mules were disfgured with
knots and oftimes with crooked limbs,
and the quiet Of the people greatly dis
turbed. Now, and for several years
past, Mr.. George Buck has been carry
ing on the business Immediately on the
Avenue, and conducts everything as
quietly as any other business in the city
is conducted. His workmen are polite
and attentive to business, his teams are

machinery goes on like clock-work.
